Cricut Challenge 19

Good morning and Happy Sunday to you all.  I had a great night sleep last night, after 4 straight nights of insomnia. I have no idea what was up with that. I hope that little phase is over.

 A couple of weeks ago, we went on a fantastic Mojave Trail ride, which took us 3 days to complete. There were a total of 5 Jeeps on the adventure. My husband and I were the only ones who had a Trail Safety Flag. Which made it easier for our group members to see us over all the Cacti and brush in the middle of nowhere. So at a quick stopping point we all got out to stretch our legs and take pics, someone suggested we all should have the trail flags for saftey. Well my husband and I looked at each other, and I said I could do that. So we came home and I went to the fabric store and bought 5 colors of nylon flag fabric. I also dusted off my YuDu machine. I cut out our club Logo in black cardstock and burned it to the YuDu screen.  The above picture is the end results. I found out that screening nylon is much harder than I thought it would be. But after all said and done, they came out great.

The carts I used are
Dude for the Mountain image
Plantin School Book for the wording.


  I hope you like my project this week. Have a great day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cricut Challenge week 10

  Hello there my crafty friends. I hope you all had a wonderful New Years, we sure did. I know this is a little late, but we were off in the mountains have family fun for the new year.

 Anyways this week I was planning on doing a layout for you but suddenly changed my mind. My daughter will be having a birthday on Feb. 29th (leap year). So I got motivated to get started on her invitations and decorations for her party. Since I don't really have a consistent craft time every day or even weeks sometimes. I figure it's best for me to get started now, so I can make sure they are done in time.

 My daughters favorite color is pink so I decided to incorporate it in making her a Leap Year themed party. My good friend Teri from Heart2Home sent me an email with a sample invite, and I liked it very much. But I had to change it up a bit to fit my daughters birthday theme. I was suggested to do a leap frog, which I loved. That's why you will see this absolutely cute frog on the invite.

 The carts that I used are:

Sugar & Spice Lite for the scallop circles

Paisley for the frog

Paper is from Cordination Lipstick and green apple. Bazzil paper is serinade (light lavendar)

Glam Pink Stickles,Xyron Glue runner

I hope you like this weeks challenge post.

See you soon

Week 5 Cricut Challenge

Good morning and Happy Sunday to you all again. This weeks challenge was pretty easy for me. A good friend of mines children are celebrating a birthday. The party is monkey themed,so with that I chose to use Cricut's Create A Critter cartridge. We will be attending their birthday party this afternoon, I am sure the kids are going to have a blast monkeying around hehehehe. I put the single page layout in a shadow box that I purchased at Michael's. The frame looked just a little to plain for me, so I decided to bring it to life. I got some scrap vinyl and made just a few stickers for the outside. I love how it turned out. I hope the Birthday kids love it, and their mother too. I might just have to make another one for my 2 little monkeys lol.

 Here is my second project. My good friend Teri Schoeni from Heart2Home made a glue holder for me. I think she got tired of me complaining that my glue always tips over on me when I stand it upside down. So she came up with this great holder for me. When I got it, it was just raw wood. I tried several attempts to decorate it but it just didn't look right to me. Well it would help if I also new what I was doing when decorating wood. So I finally had a light bulb moment and figured it out. once I got it covered with paper, I decided to add a little vinyl touch to it. I love vinyl, can you tell. I used Gypsy Wonderings on my Gypsy. I cut a silhouette of a boy and a girl to represent my kids. I also cut Inspire, well because I like to get inspired when I'm crafting. and the last one is Bliss, because crafting is blissful to me. I just love my new holder. I like that I can use several different types of bottles of glue and stickles. Thank you Teri. You can find a link to her Etsy shop at the bottom of my blog.



Thank you for stopping by and visiting my Blog. Have a wonderful crafty day.

Kid's request of the day

Well This is today's request from my kids. My son is so in love with the Pixar Cars characters. I made him Guido holding tires. I used Stampin' Ups Embossing folder called Square Lattice #119976 to give it a more real tire look. I think it worked perfect.  My daughter requested a Sally, so I made her one too. But for some reason Blogger is not allowing me to upload that photo. But she came out really cute. I put blue Stickles on her eyes, and yellow Stickles for her lights.

OK so I just tried again and it worked. Her she is. Can you see the sparkle in her eyes? LOL too cute. Corrina is still asleep, but when she wakes, she will be surprised. I used my MOST favorite Cricut crafting tool. my Gypsy. I love this thing, for anyone out there who owns a Cricut, should own a Gypsy. Love it.

I hope you have a wonderful day.
